WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: FRESH

We are in a heat wave and my responses tended towards things that symbolize all that I want to be during these days – cool, and clean, and pretty too – not a bad wish, if I may say so), just like these flowers after a rain.     As I write this post, the

Yay! The sun had not been too kind these last few days.  We’ve had high 80’s and it’s just the beginning of summer.  However, while I (who should be used to the humid temperatures, having spent most of my life in tropical Philippines) did not relish the heat, the roses exalted in it. Try as

FLOWERS

Nurture Photography has a lovely theme this week:  Lilac/Flowers.   And I am more than glad to post pictures of flowers I see.  Flowers are like  jewels and they delight everyone. While we are in the subject of flowers, I wish to  honor you all my friends with these flowers.   You have all been
